Franchises in Toronto, Mexico City, Tokyo, and Rome were discussed but did not materialize. An unconverted touchdown in the W.F.L. was worth seven points. The conversion, or "action point," added one more point, but the ballk had to be run or passed over the goal line -- it could not be kicked. Also, the W.F.L. anticipated the NFL in providing for an overtime period in games tied after the regulation 60 minutes. ******************** FLORIDA (Orlando) BLAZERS 1974 Coach: Jack Pardee Record: 14-6-0 .700 1st WFL-E DATE AT FL OPPONENT OP R J-11 H 8 Hawaii 7 W J-17 A 18 Detroit 14 W J-24 H 15 Houston 3 W J-31 A 6 Houston 7 L A- 7 A 46 Chicago 21 W A-14 H 33 Jacksonville 26 W A-21 H 11 Portland 7 W A-28 H 18 Memphis 26 L 1 THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 10, No. 3 (1988) S- 2 A 7 Birmingham 8 L S- 6 A 17 New York 15 W S-11 H 14 Detroit 15 L S-18 H 24 Philadelphia 21 W S-26 H 29 Chicago 0 W O- 2 A 30 Philadelphia 7 W O- 8 A 45 Chicago 17 W O-16 A 15 Memphis 25 L O-23 H 15 Charlotte 11 W O-30 H 18 Birmingham 26 L N- 7 A 23 Portland 0 W N-14 A 27 So.

  • In Detroit, Where the Wheels Fell Off
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 3 (1997) IN DETROIT, WHERE THE WHEELS FELL OFF by Mark Speck Detroit's pro football history is alive with the names of many wonderful heroes from a colorful past ... Potsy Clark, Buddy Parker, Bobby Layne, Alex Karras, Night Train Lane, Greg Landry, Altie Taylor, Joe Schmidt, Dick LeBeau, Bubba Wyche, Sheldon Joppru..... Bubba Wyche?! Sheldon Joppru?! Don't recognize them? Well, they too are a part of Detroit's history. Most of Detroit's history in professional football has been written by the N.F.L. Lions, one of the league's most fabled franchises. Their history, and the city's, is full of great teams, great stars, great plays and great games. For one year, however, the Lions shared Detroit with an ugly step-sister who wrote a chapter of the city's football history that most people would probably like to forget. That ugly stepsister was the Detroit Wheels. No, not Mitch Ryder's back-up band. These Detroit Wheels were a football team, or what passed for a football team that played in the World Football League in 1974. Wyche, brother of Sam Wyche, and Joppru were just two members of this Wheels' cast of characters that shared Detroit with the Lions. Actually, to set the record straight, they didn't really share Detroit with the Lions. The Wheels couldn't find a home in the city, so they had to play their home games in Ypsilanti, thirty-five miles from downtown Detroit, at Rynearson Stadium on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.

  • The Crafting of the Sports Broadcasting Act by Denis M
    It Wasn’t a Revolution, but it was Televised: The Crafting of the Sports Broadcasting Act by Denis M. Crawford Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2017 It Wasn’t a Revolution, but it was Televised: The Crafting of the Sports Broadcasting Act Denis M. Crawford I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Denis M. Crawford, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Donna DeBlasio, Committee Member Date Dr. Thomas Leary, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT This thesis aims to provide historical context for the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 which allowed professional sports teams to collectively negotiate television contracts and equally share in the revenues. According to Immanuel Wallerstein, the state crafting legislation to allow an anticompetitive business practice is an example of a basic contradiction of capitalism being reconciled. Researching the development of the SBA unveils two historically significant narratives. The first is the fact that antitrust legislator Emanuel Celler crafted the act with the intent of providing the National Football League competition although the act unintentionally aided the formation of a professional football monopoly. The other is that the act legalized a collectivist business practice in a time of anticommunist fervor and was written by a legislator with well-documented anticommunist credentials.

  • Broncos' Emmanuel Sanders Sheds Walking Boot After Achilles Surgery
    LOOK: Broncos’ Emmanuel Sanders sheds walking boot after Achilles surgery By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post Feb. 6, 2019 If Emmanuel Sanders’ dance moves are any indication, he’s reached an important milestone in his injury rehabilitation this offseason. Sanders, a ninth-year Broncos’ wide receiver who tore his Achilles during practice in December, posted a video Monday to Instagram of himself hopping out of a black Mercedes-Benz SUV — without a walking boot — before a quick celebratory jig. His caption read: “Slight limp but I’m finally out of the boot.” Two months have passed between Sanders’ injury and the post, but a long journey remains for him to be able to play. Former NFL team doctor David Chao told The Denver Post in December: “Recovery is not like a light switch, more of a slow sunrise. Some have returned as early as six months but may not have been 100 percent. Nine months is a good target but to really be explosive (it) could be longer and closer to a year. This is why I expect (Sanders) likely will not be ready or 100 percent for start of (the 2019) season.” However, Sanders expressed little doubt in December he’ll return to being the same playmaker he showcased in 12 games last season with a team-leading 71 receptions for 868 yards. He also accounted for six total touchdowns (four receiving, one rushing and one passing). “I’ll definitely for sure be ready for Week 1,” Sanders said in December. “This is a six-month injury. I heal fast.” Never-before-told stories about Pat Bowlen from those who know him best — his children By Mike Klis 9 News Feb.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 2 (2006) WHEN HAVING A BETTER RECORD DIDN'T MEAN HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, Part Two By Andy Piascik With the NFL-AFL merger in 1966 and the advent of the Super Bowl, pro football's postseason began to grow larger. Neither the NFL or AFL addressed the long-standing problem of how better to determine the home team in their respective Championship Games, however. In fact, almost another decade would go by until necessary changes were made. Instead, both leagues continued with the rotation system that had ruled pro football's postseason since 1933. And as happened so many times previously, the teams that finished with the best regular season record in both leagues in 1966, the Packers and the Chiefs, had to go on the road in the title games. Bucking the odds clearly established over the previous 33 years, both won. Even when the NFL realigned in 1967 and enlarged the playoffs, the same system was left intact. Again, evidence that something was amiss was immediately apparent. That year, the Rams finished 11-1-2 and won the Coastal Division of the Western Conference on the basis of a head to head tie-breaker over the Colts, who also finished 11-1-2. In the West's Central Division, meanwhile, the Packers finished first at 9-4-1. Despite their superior record and even though they had beaten Green Bay in their regular season meeting, the Rams had to travel to Wisconsin to play the Western Conference Championship Game. After beating the Packers two weeks earlier in Los Angeles, the Rams lost and went home while the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl.
